This looks to be an absorbing game with lots of spark and excitement as both squads are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!
Al-Ain form and stats
2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Division 1 numbers at home for Al-Ain so far this season.
The followers are hoping that Al-Ain will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Al Hazm (placed 4th).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Al Shoalah in a game that was won 3-2.The Al-Ain fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Al Arabi form and stats
Al Arabi's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Al Arabi collect 14 points from their 7 away matches in the Division 1. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). Al Arabi love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Al Arabi's last game was the home draw against Al Ahli (0-0).
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Al Jabalain.As opposed to that, Al Arabi have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
